Compare our fixed landlord & property tax fees
| Your situation | Fixed fee |
|---|---|
| 1 property — rental accounts + tax return | £149 |
| 2–4 properties | £199 |
| 5+ properties / portfolio | £299 |
| Furnished holiday let / serviced accommodation | £249 |
“From” pricing reflects the simplest case; anything more complex is quoted as a fixed fee in writing before work begins — and never changes after.
Online accountants vs the high street
Traditional firms around Scotland still run on hourly billing, office appointments and fees you discover after the work. We work the other way round: one fixed fee agreed in writing before anything starts, every question included, and the whole engagement handled online — which is exactly why we can serve Dumfries at fees a walk-in office can't match.
There's no office to fund in Dumfries and no office to visit: records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.
Landlord & Property Tax in Dumfries: from first message to filed
A WhatsApp message from Dumfries is enough to start: what you need, what shape your records are in, any deadline you're worried about.
The quote arrives in writing, covers everything discussed, and is the number you'll actually pay. No revisions later.
Identity checks, engagement letter, secure record upload — all handled from wherever you are in Dumfries. We chase whatever's missing.
Nothing is filed until you've seen and approved it. Once you have, submission is electronic and confirmation comes straight back.
The same service in Dumfries as anywhere — by design
We built this service so that someone in Dumfries never pays a premium — or accepts worse service — because of geography. Same specialists, same published fees, same speed, wherever in Scotland you are.
A lot of our Scotland clients switched from local firms after one too many surprise invoices. The fix wasn't a cheaper local firm; it was removing the billing model that produces surprises. Fixed fees, in writing, before the work — that's the whole trick.

Dumfries landlord & property tax FAQs
How does mortgage interest relief work now?
Under Section 24 you can't deduct mortgage interest from rental profits — instead you get a 20% tax credit. Higher-rate landlords pay noticeably more than under the old rules, which is why the sums (and the company question) deserve proper attention.
Should I hold my properties in a limited company?
Sometimes. Companies deduct interest in full and pay corporation tax rates, but you face costs extracting profits and potentially CGT/SDLT moving existing properties in. We'll run your actual numbers — the honest answer is 'it depends', and we'll show you on what.
What expenses can landlords claim?
Repairs and maintenance (not improvements), agent fees, insurance, ground rent, utilities you pay, advertising, accountancy, and travel for property management. The repairs-versus-improvements line is where most mistakes happen — we police it carefully.
Do I need to visit an office in Dumfries?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Dumfries or anywhere else in Scotland.
I searched "landlord tax near me" — is this service really local to Dumfries?
Dumfries is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Dumfries town centre or the edge of Scotland. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my landlord tax?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Tax, briefly — the parts that affect Dumfries
Scam "HMRC" messages outnumber real ones — HMRC doesn't demand payment by gift card or threaten arrest by text. Real letters have reference numbers that we can verify directly with HMRC before anyone responds.
Disposing of crypto — selling, swapping one coin for another, spending it — is a capital gains event, and staking or mining income is usually income. Exchanges share data with HMRC, so the tax position exists whether or not it's been calculated.
The trading allowance means up to £1,000 of gross side income per year can be tax-free with no return needed. Above that, registration and reporting kick in — and platforms now report seller data to HMRC, so "under the radar" isn't a strategy any more.
Good records aren't about neatness — they're about money: claims you can evidence, VAT you can reclaim, and an accountant who spends billable time on advice rather than sorting. Bank feeds plus a receipts app gets most small businesses to "tidy" in minutes a week.
Incorporation isn't a milestone, it's a calculation: corporation tax versus income tax and NICs, dividend taxation, what you need to draw versus what can stay in the company, and whether limited liability matters for your work. For some Dumfries businesses it saves thousands; for others it's pure extra paperwork.
Dividends can only be paid from accumulated profits, and paperwork matters: board minutes and dividend vouchers, dated correctly. "Illegal dividends" isn't dramatic language — overdrawn payments can be reclassified, with tax consequences, if the profits weren't there.
First-year traders around Dumfries tend to make the same three mistakes: registering late, mixing business and personal spending in one account, and saving nothing for the first tax bill. All three are avoidable in an afternoon of setup.
Receipts win arguments. HMRC doesn't demand a shoebox of paper any more — photos in an app are fine — but every deduction needs evidence behind it. A ten-minute weekly habit beats a January archaeology dig, every time.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Dumfries, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
